The Audiophonics HC Trigger Switch MKII is a pilot-controlled source selector whose main purpose is to enable you to use your Hi-Fi system as the front channels of your home cinema system without touching the cables.
In fact, you can connect your two systems upstream of this device, connect one or two power amplifiers or a pair of active loudspeakers to the output, and switch automatically from one source to the other.
It can also be used as a balancer and desymmetrizer, thanks to its simultaneously active XLR and RCA outputs.
The part of the HC Trigger Switch MKII dedicated to receiving the signal from a HiFi source has a stereo XLR input, which is the active one by default.
For the Hi-Fi section, output triggers can be activated in two ways: Auto or Trigger.
Note that to prevent triggers from being deactivated in the event of silence between two tracks, a time of 2 minutes 30 has been set before deactivation after the last signal detected.
The home cinema section has a stereo RCA input. The product will switch to this input as long as it receives a 12V trigger signal.
The HC Trigger Switch MKII features a front-panel gain control for the RCA input, enabling you to double the signal level offered by some home theater amplifiers on their pre-output from 1V to 2V.
The HC Trigger Switch MKII has two output triggers, so it can be used in a dual-mono configuration.
Outputs include simultaneously active RCA and XLR outputs:
The original home theater / Hi-Fi application can of course be used to mix two audio systems, as long as the RCA system has a trigger output to switch the input.
As the RCA and XLR outputs are active at the same time and perfectly independent, you can also envisage a configuration involving bi-amplification.
